Hey all–I was just trying to use slack “send and wait” in an ai agent and it either continues on without waiting for a response or it waits and the response I provide in slack (approve/deny/etc) is not received when I look at the logs (agent ends up waiting until it times out even though the response should have been registered)

Is this simply a limitation of the AI Agent node? Or am I doing something wrong?

Hey @Jeff_Morrell ,

Are you getting any notification in slack ?

Are you sure your bot has all the right scope permissions ?

[Jeff_Morrell]

Yes, the message is sent to slack successfully, it just doesn’t wait (or waits forever, not registering the response from slack).
I am sure the scopes are not the issue (when I use same functionality in a regular node (non-subnode), it works flawlessly.

Have you gotten it to work as a subnode in an agent node? If so, would you be willing to share it? maybe i can figure out what’s different

[Jeff_Morrell]

Shocking to me that this answer isn’t well known or understood since it seems like such a common potential use case (eg., send me draft email to approve, then, once approved, send the email)
